Svante Djarv Beating Gouges are designed for heavy-duty carving work, crafted from a rougher material for enhanced durability. These gouges feature brass ring reinforcements on the handle, making them significantly tougher than Svante's standard gouges. They are built to withstand heavy use and can take beatings from a wooden mallet with ease.

Hand forged and handmade - these chisels are a delight to hold and put to good work. Made from high quality tool steel, these gouges will hold an exceptional edge.

We offer two types of Beating Gouges (please select from the drop down box above):

• Straight Beating Gouge 40-35
• Bent Beating Gouge 40-35

The bevel shape of each gouge is denoted by a diameter (mm) and an approximate width (mm), with the bevel shape forming part of a full circle. The number marked on the gouge represents the diameter of this circle, while the width is measured across the gouge. Both bent and straight gouges are 40mm (diameter) and 35mm (approximate width).
